if the government didn't take action today. the government, yes, the gas stations and the drivers are going to pay for that gasoline out of their own pockets when they buy it, but they weren't going to be able to get it without government help. the government will clear the streets of wreck age and debris in front of the businesses that are now closed. the government will do the repair work that allows those businesses to have electrical power, to have passable streets. and ultimately allows those businesses to reopen and thrive once again. the government will reopen the transportation systems that allow those businesses' employees to come to work. transportation systems that allow those businesses' customers to come to their stores and restaurants. the owners and workers of those businesses will work harder than they have ever had to work before to get their businesses up and running again and they deserve to take pride in whatever rebuilding they do. but what they know is that they cannot do it alone. not now. many of them wi

. >>> good governments, good politics. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start with this, i can't think of a better job than helping the american people defend themselves. fortunately for president obama, that's his job this week. he signed up for it and now it needs doing. there's no walking away from it, nothing that takes precedence over putting his head and heart into ensuring the absolute best of his ability that people in the northeast part of the country recover and begin to reconstruct from this natural emergency that's come down on it. and every second this president applies himself, he must help the electoral momentum must shift in his direction because this now, these several days, will test if the president shares the hope on which he's built his public life. here's the latest on sandy's devastating impact. the storm has been blamed for at least 38 deaths so far. there's new video this afternoon showing the massive destruction along the new jersey shore. governor
